Is it just me or have smartphones reached their maximum thinness? What else can they do to help cut down on the weight and size of the phone, while still maintaining normal operation? It seems like they may be looking to cut battery life. If you are a Pokémon GO player, have you noticed that your smartphone’s battery isn’t as great as you thought it was? With the constant GPS feed, max brightness on your screen, and internet connectivity, your battery is working overtime to make sure that you have a happy time walking around on sidewalks catching Pokémon.

Crime, and the terror it can cause, is unavoidable. It’s everywhere you go and it can never be truly stopped; suppressed and contained, yes, but never ended. All over the world we have seen the awful attacks that put us in fear and have us questioning our safety. When your own government is failing to protect you, you must take matters into your own hands. Metropolitan cities in America are filled with crimes of all sorts of levels, ranging from drunk driving to murder. However, one of the most common crimes in America is burglary and breaking and entering; in…
There is a great series on YouTube called Room Tour Project by RandomFrankP. Once a week, Frank, the host, publishes a new episode where he showcases some of the best computer desktop setups that people submit. With desk setups displaying minimalistic wiring, floating monitors, and matching colors, I constantly look at my own setup to see how I can improve it. The setups on this series seem perfect in every way, but one thing to remember is that these setups take time and money. It’s the little things that count when creating the ultimate desk setup. As Frank likes to…
Car engines are some of the most complex and well-engineered devices you can find in a public setting. All the moving parts, electronics, and materials go under a remarkable load each time you drive, so it’s no surprise that they can be difficult to fix when something goes wrong. Oil leaks are some of the more common car engine issues, but finding that leak can be hard to do when your eyes only have a top down view of the engine. The same goes for your air conditioner vents within your home. How do you fix something you can’t see?…
We’ve all been there. You get out to your car one morning, hit the unlock button on your keys and nothing. The doors stay locked. You find it strange, so you manually unlock the doors to discover that your car battery has died. It could be worse, once my entire car shut down while driving because of a dying battery. There you are stuck in your parking spot, or worse on the side of the road. You can’t get to where you need to go and you can’t go drive somewhere to get a new battery. Your options are limited…
It is a Sunday afternoon. The weather outside is cool with partly cloudy skies and I thought “Let’s make the best of the situation” by listening to the Slowhand himself. With the windows cracked open for some fresh air and a quiet atmosphere it felt like just the right time to review one of my new favorite products. I doubt I am the only one spending my Sunday afternoon with my headphones on rocking out to some tunes. There are those on flights, traveling in the back seat of a car, talking and walk by the river, or perhaps about…
It has always been man’s dream to fly. The ability to travel the globe, soar through the sky, or even visit the moon were incredible advancements in mankind’s history. Everything from parasailing, to parachuting, to commercial flights, being up high in the sky offers a new experience for all of us. Lately, a new “toy” has hit the market allowing people to take to the skies in a different manner. Drones, quadcopters, flying machines, whatever you wish to call them, these new “toys” use four propeller blades that lift an object high into the sky. For avid watchers of YouTube,…
What you are about to read is an untraditional review. We are not going to be discussing one or two products like a traditional review, but rather three products that are all classified as the same subject. It is as if they were all made to be bought together. Daily visitors of Tech Support Forum Articles will be no stranger to our large collection of RAVPower reviews. In fact, we have a full review lineup of almost all of their products and some of them have attracted our highest page view count. For those who are unaware, RAVPower is an…
A computer graphics card is the component that produces a graphical or video interface which is then displayed onto your screen. Like a USB thumb drive, graphics cards require a connection to your system’s motherboard, in this case through your peripheral component interconnect or PCI for short. However, that is not all it needs. Graphic cards also require what is known as a driver in Windows, a piece of software that allows a device to communicate to the Windows operating system. Drivers allow functionality between the device and the operating system and without them, the hardware you connect to the…
There’s something mesmerizing about music. It allows time to pass on by without a second thought; it allows us to recall memories from years ago; it expresses who we are. Could you imagine not having a radio in your car? How boring it would be while driving or how about when you go to work out or perhaps when just doing tasks around the house? Wouldn’t you miss being able to listen to your music? With summer just around the corner, it’s time once again to breakout that outdoor speaker and enjoy a relaxing day by the pool or a…
